Love each fragment



Love all that has been created by God, both the whole and every grain of sand. Love every leaf and every ray of light. Love the beasts and the birds, love the plants, love every separate fragment. If you love each separate fragment, you will understand the mystery of the whole resting in God.

~Fyodor Dostoevsky

It is funny, something similar I was just reading...an excerpt from a old Deepak Chopra book "Unconditional Life"

The part I read was about a Yoga Master,(I think his grandfather) sitting surrounded by snakes, and a young Deepak says "Grandpa you are surrounded by snakes and bitten all over"

The master says "I dont see snakes I only see God"

I love Dostoevsky, at least the little bit I have read.

I also love the beautiful photo - the Zoo seems to produce/attract some talented creative people.

Peace and Love
